The flesh restrains the spirit. On aesthetics in the poetry of Guðbergur Bergsson. By Birna Bjarnadóttir.
A pioneering work in research on the work of Guðbergur Bergsson, a key author in contemporary Icelandic poetry and indeed one of the most accomplished artists in Icelandic cultural history in recent decades.
This is not a traditional literary analysis of Guðbergur's work, but rather a staging and elaboration of an ideological-historical and aesthetic dialogue. It is argued that the aesthetics of Guðbergur's poetry not only involves a dialogue with Icelandic culture and society, but also that it can find ideological-historical correspondences with certain poets and philosophers in the Western ideological and narrative tradition. The main aim of the book is to analyze this dialogue, which can be said to be based on aesthetic radicalism.
